nlE NEW YORKER the fair Parisienne, who is reported to be completely devoted to black, and black and white, for the street. The djsadvantage of the use of chiffons and light crêpe Elizabeths for dresses is that it is creating a tendency to bagginess. The very loose blouses, the sc rfs, the overskirts-al , despite their transparency, were a little too thicken- ing to be becoming to anyone who is not built lIke the well-known lathe. The coat dress was also very much in evidence, giving always the effect of a tailored coat of light-weight ma- . terial with a dress, usually pleated underneath. The best of these, to my mind, were the very straight, belted frocks, with box pleats descending from a deep yoke back and front, or with applications of self material in odd geometric patterns to vary them. Of course, the ensemble suit was still with us, though the difficulty of get- ting an ensemble in which both the dress and the coat are completely pleas- ing has led more and more women to buying the two items separately, with a careful eye to color schemes. In the new ensembles that are scheduled for the Spring, the dresses are usually of crêpe, pleated in strategic places and very simply cut, and the coats of light reps, crêpe, or, best of all, of black or navy blue kasha. As usual, the lin- ing of the coat matched the dress. So there you are; Fate's mind is made up and the season holds no secret from you.-L. L. .
